Answer: substitute

Explanation:

After firm A acquired firm B, it raised the prices for the goods produced by both firms. This can increase profits if those goods are substitutes.

Substitute goods are the goods that serve thesame functions and one can be used to replace the other one. Since both goods produced are substitutes, that means when there's price increase, even though consumers shift from one good to another, there's still rise in price which will increase profits

Answer:

(C) debit to Foreign-Currency Transaction Loss-$1040

Explanation:

Foreign currency related Financial assets and financial liabilities are usually revalued with any difference as a result of the exchange rates posted as a gain or loss in the income statement.

On transaction date, cost of assets

= 520000 * $0.034

On payment date, the amount paid

= 520000 * $0.036

The amount paid is higher than the liability recorded before hence the difference is recognized as a loss on foreign exchange.

= 520000 * $0.036 - 520000 * $0.034

= $1040

Harding Corporation acquired real estate that contained land, building and equipment. The property cost Harding $1,235,000. Hard
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The value recorded for the building = $140,000

Explanation:

From the appraisal of the property, the following information is given:

Value of land = $296,000

Value of building = $880,000

value of equipment = $584,000

Total = 296,000 + 880,000 + 584,000 = $1,760,000

Next, we will calculate the percentage of the total value allocated to the building as follows:

Percentage allocated to building = (value of building ÷ total value) × 100

= (880,000 ÷ 1,760,000) × 100

= 0.5 × 100 = 50%

Next, since we now know that the building takes 50% of the property cost, and since $280,000 was paid, the value recorded for building will be 50% of the $280,000 paid, and this is calculated as follows:

value recorded for building = 50% of 280,000

= 50/100 × 280,000 = 0.5 × 280,000 =  $140,000

Trout farming is a perfectly competitive industry and all trout farms have the same cost curves.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units

(ii)  The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down

(iii)  The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)

Explanation:

(i)According to given data,  When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.

(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.

(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

First option will be recommended.

Explanation:

To determine which option to be taken, we calculate the net present value each option generates. The option generating higher NPV should be recommended.

- Net present value of first option = Lump sum receipt = $150,000.

- Net present value of second option will be found by discounting cash flows at investing rate 12% and calculated as followed:

 +  Present value of 20 equal annual payment of $14,000 + Present value of $60,000 paid in 20 years = (14,000/12%) x [ 1 - 1.12^(-20)] + 60,000/1.12^20 = $110,792.

As net present value of the first option is higher than the second option, first option will be recommended.
